Chapter 308: Heart-Blocking Curse
308
The second in command was getting nervous, and since the guy who had been beaten up was eager to try again, the second in command decided to go to the island to see what was going on. He felt that Tang Yue and his men definitely didn't have the ability to wipe out all the pirates on the island.
But when they landed on the pirate island, they found that there was no one on the shore. When the second in command saw so many pirates lying motionless on the cliff, he went completely crazy.
The pirates at this time were a secret force that rarely appeared on the Pirate Island. The second in command had to transfer all of them out, otherwise their Pirate Island would be almost gone.
These pirates were well-trained. When Tang Yue rushed over, she saw the seriousness in Gu Yanxi's eyes. When she saw Tang Yue coming back, the worry in Gu Yanxi's eyes immediately disappeared, leaving only joy.
“I’m back!”
"Well, there are still so many that slip through the net."
"Yeah, most of the Japanese are pirates now."
Tang Yue casually tossed the two pirates over to Gu Yanxi and said, "Interrogate them and see how much more harm they have done to China."
Gu Yanxi said nothing, but went over and dragged the two men to the middle. Tang Yue looked at the second-in-command and the pirates running towards them, and the corners of her mouth curled up wickedly.
The second in command was obviously smarter than the pirate leader. He saw Tang Yue standing on the top of the mountain from a distance and immediately raised his hand to stop the pirates' attack.
The young pirate's mustache twitched as he was being beaten. What was going on? The second-in-command was retreating? How could that be possible? The boss should still be in those people's hands. He must not be harmed.
The beaten boy didn't want to listen to the second-in-command anymore. He had to seize the time and rescue the boss at the most appropriate time. The longer the time dragged on, the greater the danger the boss would be in.
Thinking this way, the young man rushed forward with his gun, and Tang Yue's mouth curled up. It seemed that several times when she sent her consciousness out to investigate the situation, she encountered the so-called second-in-command beating this young man.
This guy looks quite simple, but he is a loyal protector. However, he doesn't seem to be very smart.
Spiritual power burst out from Tang Yue's fingertips, and the second in command stretched out his hand to stop him, but the young man really rushed out with anger this time, and the second in command's hand grabbed nothing.
Tang Yue's spiritual power hit the young man's eyebrows directly. The second in command chased him a few steps forward, but he still couldn't catch the young man. As a result, he saw the young man standing there motionless.
The young man's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, and his mustache twitched along with them, making him look quite funny. The gloom that had been weighing on Tang Yue's heart seemed to have lessened a little.
Suddenly she had a new idea. She waved her hand and a large amount of green spiritual power leaked out and fell on the attacking pirates, including the second in command.
Tang Yue opened her mouth and the sound vibrated from her chest. She muttered to herself, "A phantom sound, my heart and soul are lost, my spirit is drawn away, my mind is confused and my mind is lost."
As the obscure incantation rang out, she quickly formed seals with her hands. Spiritual energy flowed from her fingertips like silk threads, outlining strange runes in the air. The runes shimmered with a faint light and slowly drifted towards the immobilized pirates.
The targeted pirates were confused at first, then their eyes gradually became blurred, and their originally firm expressions became dazed.
The rune seemed alive, swirling around the pirates' heads before sinking into their brows. The warriors' bodies trembled slightly, as if trapped in a terrifying dream. Their consciousnesses were completely controlled by Tang Yue's spell, and they began to obey her commands involuntarily.
From now on, these pirates would be the knife in Tang Yue's hand. She finally understood that the reason why Japan had not dealt with the pirates in the Erdu Strait was not necessarily because it lacked the strength, but also because these pirates were the result that those politicians wanted to see.
Tang Yue's spell was not over yet. "From now on, all robberies at sea cannot target Chinese people, and we must find ways to protect their safety. In addition, we can provoke more disputes within Japan and between Japan and other countries. There is no limit to the means."
As for whether those Chinese were all good people, that was not Tang Yue's concern. Gu Yanxi would definitely bring back those criminal gangs when he returned this time.
If there were still so many bad apples, Tang Yue could only say that she had done everything she could. Although these pirates were extremely evil, they helped her deal with people passing by from Japan and other countries. Wasn't it a kind of waste utilization?
Once they die, they will just disappear. No one will mention the crimes they committed anymore. Isn't that a bargain for them?
After Tang Yue finished speaking, she withdrew her spiritual power, and the pirates who had been controlled by the spell instantly regained consciousness. The fierceness and arrogance in their eyes were no longer there, replaced by deep awe and submission.
The second in command was the first to react. He dropped to his knees with a thud, his voice trembling but full of admiration: "From now on, you are our master. We will follow you until death! Please give your orders, master!"
Seeing this, the other pirates followed suit and knelt. For a moment, everyone on the mountain and below knelt down, swearing allegiance in unison. The sound was so uniform and loud that it echoed over the island.
The pirates, who had originally been hostile to Tang Yue, now regarded her as a god-like existence, and no longer had any thoughts of resistance. Their hearts were also firmly fixed on one thing: I must help the Chinese.
Moreover, no one can tell this secret, they just have to do it.
Gu Yanxi was interrogating two pirate leaders. He knew that the strong pirate was the third in command on the pirate island. He was in a bad mood. The notebook in his hand had recorded the crimes of the nearby pirate islands.
If Gu Yanxi had not taken his own identity into consideration, the two pirates would have had no chance to breathe by now.
Just as he was venting his anger, what did he hear? A thunderous roar of recognition? It was obvious who had orchestrated this. The interrogation wasn't over yet, and Gu Yanxi didn't waste any time, continuing to ask the questions he wanted to know.
As for Tang Yue, the pirates barely even knew her well enough to treat her like a god. The second in command volunteered, his voice tinged with flattery:
"Master, there is a mysterious treasure trove on our island. It contains countless treasures that we have robbed over the years. I am willing to take you there." Tang Yue had just learned the location from the pirate leader, but since this man wanted to take her there, she naturally did not refuse.
She nodded slightly: "Okay, lead the way."
So, the second-in-command led the way cautiously in front, and just as Tang Yue started walking, Gu Yanxi rushed over. After the two nodded, Gu Yanxi followed closely behind and walked forward together.
They first came to a deep cave, with a light mist hanging from the entrance, giving people a sense of mystery. Entering the cave, it was dark and damp, with a bumpy ground. From time to time, water drops fell from the cave ceiling, making a crisp sound.
The cave twisted and turned like a huge maze. The second in command was obviously very familiar with this place. He led Tang Yue and Gu Yanxi through the intricate passages.
As they walked, a narrow crack appeared in front of them, only wide enough for one person to pass through. The second-in-command squeezed through without hesitation, and Tang Yue and Gu Yanxi followed suit.
After passing through the crack, they came to the foot of a steep cliff. The cliff was towering into the clouds, and the cliff walls were covered with moss and protruding rocks. Climbing up was not easy.
The second in command looked up at the cliff and said, "Master, we have to climb up from here. The path above is the only way to the treasure room."
Tang Yue wanted to ask, how did they transport the treasures up there on such a road? And why did she feel like they were almost on the other side of the Pirate Island?
Tang Yue didn't hesitate at all. With a tap of her toes, she shot upward like a bolt of black lightning. Her movements were light and nimble, and each footfall was precise, as if she were walking on a cliff as if it were flat ground.
Not to be outdone, Gu Yanxi grabbed the rope on the cliff and quickly climbed up, aiming to stay close behind Tang Yue. The second-in-command followed behind, using both hands and feet to climb hard.
During the climbing process, suddenly, a strong wind blew past, making people unable to stand steadily.
